Description

Program Description

MSACL provides a forum for discussing the clinical application of mass spectrometry by bringing together academic and industrial experts in the field with those driven to
explore and understand more about the potential
application and
benefits. The mission of MSACL is to accelerate the implementation of mass spectrometry in the clinical laboratory with the goal of contributing to the improvement of
patient standard-of-care as well as reducing health care costs.

Travel Grants

Young Investigator Grants: Young investigators, in the first four years of their academic position, who submit an abstract which is accepted for
presentation (poster/podium) at the annual conference. Applicants must submit a
short application.

Lab Director Grants: Lab Directors interested in learning more about what mass spectrometry is and how it could potentially improve results and
reduce costs in their clinical laboratory are not required to submit an abstract, but must submit a
short application.

Trainee Grants: Lab Directors-to-be interested in learning more about what mass spectrometry is and how it could potentially improve results and
reduce costs in their clinical
laboratory are not required to submit an abstract, but must submit a
short application.

Scientific Program Tracks

It's the abstracts that make the meeting. Are you working in clinical mass spectrometry and have compelling results that you want to present at the most focused clinical
mass
spec meeting in the world? Submit your abstract for the MSACL Conference.

Target Audience

The target audience for this program includes pathologists, clinical laboratory directors and scientists, mass spectrometry and automated sample processing providers as
well
as
laboratory diagnostic providers.
This program will be beneficial to healthcare administrators, laboratory quality control and standards scientists, as well as those responsible for implementation of
clinical
analyses
for emergency response due
to terrorism or accident.

Needs Assessment

This meeting will be critical to share emerging analytical information and work concerning regulations and standards. The goal of MSACL is to create an environment
through
which
participants will be able to
identify opportunities to develop the capacity to provide higher quality results, more rapidly and for lower overall cost, for patients within the healthcare system.
